Steden en een kasteel in het graafschap Rousillon 1701 - 1733

Abraham Allard's "Steden en een kasteel in het graafschap Rousillon" is a detailed etching depicting the fortifications of four cities in the County of Roussillon in France. Created between 1701 and 1733, the artwork showcases the strategic importance of these locations. The intricate details of the city layouts, walls, and surrounding landscape offer insight into the 18th-century military architecture and urban planning. The viewer can easily distinguish the walled cities of Bellegarde, Collioure, Perpignan, and the castle of Salses, which are presented in an almost aerial perspective. This historically significant piece is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Netherlands.
